Steelers 2010 Pre Draft Visits

The Steelers will begin to bring 2010 draft prospects in for pre draft visits starting next week. NFL teams are allowed to host 30 non local prospects prior to the draft. Below is a running list of players we have confirmed have been scheduled for visits as of today. We will use this as our official Steelers pre draft visit list and will update this as the visits happen or more are announced.

I think that we should draft wilson in the 1st round… we need a new CB…. and that guy… man… he has the “steeler way” on him… heheheh

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO steelers….

Couple thoughts –

– Last year AQ Shipley, Joe Burnett, Frank Summers, Ra’Shon Harris, and Jason Chery visited, so it does give you an idea of who the Steelers like. At least a few of these guys will likey be Steelers by May.

– I think Sean Lee will count as a local visit since he is from Upper St. Clair (Pittsburgh suburb). The way I understand it, University of Pittsburgh plus kids who grew up in PGH count as a local visit.

– Not sure if WVU counts as a local visit? I don’t think PSU does.

– Sort of surprised about Mike Neal – he really seems like a 4-3 type DT to me….not a fit for the 3-4, but I guess John Mitchell disagrees.

– Arrelious Benn sends a message to Santonio – although I still don’t see them taking a WR early – I don’t see them keeping 6 WRs – so who gets cut? Randle-El? Arnaz Battle? That’s signing bonus money down the drain if they cut Randle-El or Battle… Unless they swing a draft day trade of Santonio?……not really the Steelers style but who knows?

– I wonder if they have any interest in Rolando McClain ?

– From the list above, I like Iupati or Kyle Wilson at pick 18 depending on how the draft unfolds

04/06/2010 Update –

– I like Brayn Bulaga but I haven’t seen many, if any, mocks that have him on the board at pick 18. This seems sort of a wasted visit, unless all the mocks are wrong. I wonder if any other top rated OTs are coming in – Trent Williams, Bruce Campbell, Anthony Davis ?

– I’m sort of surpised at the almost total lack of interest in D-linemen – Jared Odrick, LaMarr Houston, Terrence Cody, Alex Carrington, Corey Wooton, etc, etc…are not on the visit list. I know it’s sort of a ‘poker game’ and the Steelers don’t want to show all their cards, but still… I would have thought they’d have more interest in D-linemen than just Mike Neal.
